Angel wing?

[MammaAtTheAvenue]

Hi,
Could anyone tell me if this looks like the begin of angel wing please? Xxx

Just looks like flight feathers growing in. Angelwing will cause the flight feathers to grow out like a hitchhikers thumb maybe your seeing something I am not.

I can't really tell. When it is first noticed it is fairly easy to tell. You'd need to wrap the wings close to the body to prevent them from growing outwards. If left untreated and it gets severe you can't really do anything about it.

Thank you @Miss Lydia. I am aware I am paranoid because of a comment about my feeding plan that one (or more) of them may develop it. Thanks for your response xxx

I've finally, thankfully got Barbara wrapped. It has a cardboard splint on. I'm hoping I've done it properly. She is currently distressed by the whole thing. It's awful xxx
